About Rashid
I’m a product leader with 18+ years of experience building and scaling digital products across global organizations including Amazon, SumUp, Dell, and Lowe’s. My background spans B2C, B2B, and SaaS ecosystems, where I’ve led product, design, and engineering teams delivering platforms used by millions of users worldwide. Today, I lead product for the merchant lifecycle at SumUp, shaping how merchants onboard, activate, and grow. Previously at Amazon, I led security and access management for large-scale catalog platforms serving millions of sellers globally. Alongside my corporate roles, I’ve coached product managers and aspiring PMs through institutes, organizations, and personal mentorship. My approach is practical, structured, and rooted in real-world product leadership. I help PMs think strategically, communicate with confidence, and grow into strong product leaders.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve seen how transformative the right guidance can be at critical points in a product career. Early in my journey, mentors helped me move beyond execution into strategic thinking, stakeholder influence, and leadership growth. Many talented PMs struggle not because they lack ability, but because they lack clarity, structure, and honest feedback. Coaching allows me to help PMs accelerate their growth, avoid common pitfalls, and build the confidence to operate at the next level with clarity and conviction.
